socialworkette Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 I applied to the online program in November, had the interview in December, and they told me they would let people know in March. I already accepted NYU because it was my first choice and I only had 4 weeks to accept but I would still like to see if I can get into Columbia and it's the only other school I applied to.  Just to add a little totally personal perspective for those who have not visited Columbia yet, I had high expectations of the school but in person I was really disappointed. The school is off from the main campus and the admissions people and one faculty we met with seemed really cold and unhappy to be dealing with candidates. I get that it's a big name school and we want them more than they want us, but I for one felt very faceless there.   I didn't know the program was off from main campus  It is a short ways away from the main campus, but it didn't strike me as too far away when I visited. I thought it was nice that the SW building is still quite new and I kinda liked that it was its own entity (maybe because my undergrad school's SW dept shared a floor with like 3 other departments…it seems like it would be nice to have a dedicated building) but that's just my preference. I also know a few people that went to CUSSW and really liked their experience there so I may be biased lol. Everyone should definitely try and visit if they can so you can get a feel for it.

socialworkette Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 wow congrats!!! have any non-transfer students heard?

caitdownie Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 HI there! Â Just joined the thread! I'm anxiously awaiting as well! I keep checking my email! Has anyone received acceptance letters from other programs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosesw Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 is it an email telling you the decision or an email telling you to check the online application page? i guess it doesn't matter that much b/c i'll just compulsively check both all week!

socialworkette Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 @rosesw I believe it's an email directing you to check the app portal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caitdownie Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 @rosesw I believe it will be an email as well. However, my friend is graduating the program this May and she said when she was receiving acceptance letters, she found out first from the application page before an email was sent to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socialworkette Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 I have a feeling we're gonna find out this Friday the 20th. The past 2 app cycles a flood of applicants heard on the 21st (last year that was a Friday, year before that was a Thursday) this year it's a Saturday. So I'm betting Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caitdownie Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 @socialworkette I hope so! I have to give a deposit to NYU by the 24th, so I'm really hoping that we hear before that and I don't lose the money pending my decision letter from Columbia.

emmypie Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 so where would it say for those of us who are very obsessed and checking the columbia website too? would it say under "status" where it currently says "submitted"?  also, for those of you who got into nyu… did you go straight from undergrad? take the gre? have lots of years in social service?  freakin' out over here.

socialworkette Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 @emmypie I know I was actually wondering that too. There doesn't seem to be an obvious place where they would put a decision button or whatever. You could always call them and ask bahahahaha freaking out here too!

caitdownie Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) I sent them an email to confirm that my application was complete since it only says submitted. They said all my materials are submitted and all applications are under review right not.

jillchristine Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hi all!  Good luck, I know this is a nerve-wracking time for everyone! I'm a first year at Columbia, if you have any specific questions about the program or why I chose it over the other schools on my list don't hesitate to reach out! I'm happy to help. Just remember to enjoy this time (as difficult as that is to say) because it'll only get harder next year!  Also, I know Columbia's price tag can be a little scary but with school scholarships, it turned out to be my most affordable option. So make sure to keep that in mind! Again, please don't hesitate to reply to this or DM me if you have any questions about Columbia  jillchristine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDT612 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Has anyone spoken to the admissions office yet? All of my friends are getting acceptance letters from schools they applied to like a month prior (UMD, Ship, UCF,). I might punch someone if I see another acceptance letter lol. But seriously this wait is killing me slowly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously this wait is killing me slowly  I think a few people on this thread have contacted admissions and were told that we could be hearing back this week possibly. Personally I'm thinking we'll start hearing Friday. We're all there with you! Why Columbia has taken SO LONG who knows…they have one of the earlier due dates (at least the 12/1 date)….I keep refreshing my email and checking the app portal….
